When I last bought a new pair of mics around the late 90s/early 2000s, we had Sonic Sense, Oade and maybe a handful of others to order thru to support our community retailers and because they would always be willing to negotiate price, throw-ins like boxes of dat tapes, etc.
Now I'm considering some of the newer modular DPA mics, I'm wondering if there are any retailers still around like this or is the only option to order thru the big retailers like B&H.
